Overview

• King Charles III hosted President Donald Trump at Windsor Castle with the largest recent military welcome for a foreign leader, featuring about 1,300 service members, roughly 120 horses and a 41‑gun salute.
• Thames Valley Police arrested four people after images linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein were projected onto a Windsor tower, saying the suspects are held on suspicion of “malicious communications” with identities not released.
• The activist group Led By Donkeys said it staged the projection and posted a greeting on Instagram, with the display including photos of Trump with Epstein and a purported letter previously denied as false by the White House.
• Thousands demonstrated in central London under the Stop Trump banner, with a significant police presence reported as protests tracked the visit.
• Ceremonial exchanges included Trump gifting a replica of Dwight Eisenhower’s World War II sword, while the royals presented a leather‑bound commemorative volume and the Buckingham Palace flag flown on Trump’s Inauguration Day, as the agenda moves to a Thursday meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Chequers focused on defense, technology and economic cooperation.
